Could a platform be added to the Phone Finder?
Looks like a tiny handful of phones run (or will run when they're released) on Linux.
The Motorola E680 is the one I'm thinking of.
Could Rich or someone add Linux to the Platform/OS section of the 3 Phone Finders?
On a total other side note, I kinda like the "Check Spelling" feature for posting.
Could the names of the manufacturers and carriers and technologies be added to it as valid words?
Prolly a huge list of things really...
All those different companies, words like "USB" and "Bluetooth", etc.
It's no big deal to ignore those words really, but if someone out there's bored enough to fool with it... ;-)

On Linux, the issue is that it's a core OS on a few phones, but not a standardized platform yet.
So for example, Symbian is a core OS, but Series 60 is a complete platform. And Windows CE is an OS, but Windows Mobile for Smartphone is an actual platform based on CE.
Linux doesn't have that kind of standardized platform yet.
For the spell checker, the custom words things is on my to-do list.
Thanks for the feedback! 🙂

For those of us real geeks, I'd like to see the phone chipset added to the PhoneScoop specs in the database.
